Preface
The purpose of this guide is to provide you with the essential information to
determine necessary changes when migrating from a system containing
Kinetix® 350 servo drives to one containing Kinetix 5300 servo drives.
Migrating from a motion control system that uses Kinetix 350 drives to a
system that uses Kinetix 5300 drives requires a comprehensive design review
of the motion control system. As a result, this migration guide is not an all-
inclusive document. It does not describe all redesign steps required, nor
contain the detailed product information necessary to finalize the redesign.
The generalities of the replacement process are covered, and the decision-
making steps likely to be encountered in a typical replacement scenario are
described.
This manual is intended for engineers and technicians that are directly
involved in the installation and wiring of the Kinetix 5300 drives, and
programmers who are directly involved in the operation, field maintenance,
and integration of these drives. You must have previous experience with, and a
basic understanding of, electrical terminology, programming procedures,
networking (and required equipment and software), and safety precautions.
Product compatibility information and release notes are available online
within the Product Compatibility and Download Center at rok.auto/pcdc
.
Migration Options
This migration guide provides you with the essential information to determine
hardware design changes that can be necessary when migrating from a
motion system that contains Kinetix 350 servo drives to one that contains
Kinetix 5300 servo drives.
Potential Design Changes
The design changes required for converting to the Kinetix 5300 drives depend
on the original/replacement drive combination and the specifics of the
application. The objective is to determine which areas of a design must be
changed. This publication provides you with knowledge about the type and
extent of work required to change successfully from a Kinetix 350 system to a
Kinetix 5300 system.
Due to the flexibility of drive installation and usage, it is not feasible to cover
all possibilities. In addition to the items described in this publication, pay
attention to unique features and functions of the Kinetix 350 system when
considering replacement with a Kinetix 5300 system.
See Appendix A
for a comparison of features. See the Kinetix Servo Drives
Specifications Technical Data, publication KNX-TD003
for complete
specifications.
Application Conversion
Studio 5000 Logix Designer application is used to configure and program both
the Kinetix 350 and Kinetix 5300 drives.
